Climate change
For an introduction, read What is climate change.
Biggest factors
Most of the world's emissions are affected by either...
- How much new "stuff" gets made. Template:Pi
- How much people drive/fly. Template:Pi
- Heating & cooling homes and other buildings. Template:Pi
- Food production. Template:Pi

Personal actions
- Frugalism
- Driving less (or not at all)
- Plant-based food
- Not wasting food
Collective actions ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
- Stop planned obsolescence and promote right to repair
- Make neighborhoods walkable and improve public transit
- Replace all fossil fuel energy with renewables or nuclear - but this requires major tech innovations that might not come soon enough.
- This would be a lot easier if energy consumption was lower - so in any case, the other actions on this page still matter more than ever.
